Unified Rule for Loss on Subsidiary Stock; Correction

AGENCY: Internal Revenue Service (IRS), Treasury.

ACTION: Correction to notice of proposed rulemaking.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This document contains corrections to a notice of proposed 
rulemaking that were published in the Federal Register on Tuesday, 
January 23, 2007 (72 FR 2964). These regulations apply to corporations 
filing consolidated returns. The regulations implement aspects of the 
repeal of the General Utilities doctrine by redetermining members' 
bases in subsidiary stock and requiring certain reductions in 
subsidiary stock basis on a transfer of the stock. The regulations 
promote the clear reflection of income by redetermining members' bases 
in subsidiary's stock and reducing the subsidiary's attributes to 
prevent the duplication of loss, and they also, provide guidance 
limiting the application of section 362(e)(2) with respect to 
transactions between members of a consolidated group.

Bennett (202) 622-7770 (not toll-free numbers).
